Aeromagnetic Survey of the Nisling River Area, Yukon, 2011

The Nisling River area in Yukon, Canada, was surveyed by Goldak Airborne Surveys for the Geological Survey of Canada between January 25 and March 26, 2011. A total of 37,999 line kilometres of high-resolution magnetic data were collected using cesium vapour magnetometers. Traverse lines were flown at a 400 m spacing with a nominal terrain clearance of 100 meters.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological structures based on magnetic field gradients.
• Support mineral exploration targeting based on processed aeromagnetic data.
• Calibrate geophysical models using high-resolution survey data.
• Analyze regional magnetic trends for geological research.

Strengths

• 37,999 line kilometres of high-resolution magnetic data were collected.
• Survey conducted with three cesium vapour magnetometers and differential GPS.
• Traverse lines flown at a precise 400 m spacing with 100 m terrain clearance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific survey area.
